Among those the only viable one would be Rondo (i.e., Kobe and Gasol are not coming to NY). I fail to see how a PG that can't shoot would fit into the Triangle.

for some reason the page(s) wouldnt load for me. If someone doesnt mind posting them Im curious.That being said on Rondo... he's another borderline max guy I would take a risk on. Yea his jumper weak but he's one of the best PGs and defenders in the league. If the system cant make use of that the system needs adjustments.
Fish you really like these guys who can't make their Free throws. I'd take Rondo too does he fit the system?
Its not that.. its just that every player in the league has holes in their game. I mean it would be cool if we could just play 2 Duncans, 5 Lebrons and 2 Steph Curry but thats not feasable. Besides I hate Lebron.
What I like about Rondo is he holds the ball and sets guys up. He defends. He takes the ball out of Melo's hands, except when he's setting Melo up for a score. He can lock down PG on the wings as well as anyone in the league. He's also a very good scorer. He's also a proven playoff performer.
Like D Jordan his advantages outweight his negatives. When you have someone that can create and defend like Rondo its much easier to add pieces that fit. He makes guys better.
